رئيس الحكومة: السياحة الريفية تستكمل عبر الامن وانتخاب رأس للدولة

(1). This is an excellent move that cannot be commended enough. Lebanon is culturally rich and vibrant, and this culture is definitely not done justice in our cities and towns but more so in our villages, as numerous and varied as they are. Let's also add the word CULTURAL and Spiritual to the Rural Tourism, truly Lebanon has so very much to offer. For example the government could instigate this: Nowadays there are so many of our villages that have emptied of their youths who've preferred urban life, so tourism can rent a room or two in the houses of such families. Tourists could come and live with these families for a few days and live the real life that our villages live in ways that should be totally unaltered. The tourist will be given the chance to live, eat, sleep and buy artifacts and home made stuff from those villages they chose to stay.

(2). Some monasteries and other houses of religions too can offer spiritual tourism, of course in total adherence to the principles of these houses of religion. There are so many in the world who are looking for spiritual healing and orientation, that too is an area we can help and help our economy and rural areas. Lebanon is not only about night life and shopping, Lebanon is a lot more than that. Only the thought of seeing tourists walk around our villages is enough to make my heart beat. Cultural ought to be properly regulated whereby tourists will be made to understand that in order to enjoy real rural and spiritual life in Lebanon as should be the case, then there are guidelines and principles to be followed and adhered to. If we do our homework well, I see us creating a success story like never before as the benefits will translate directly to the people.

It seems harassing posters is your primary role on this site. Live and let live... there is space for everybody.

Country is under threat for survival & some are worried about tourism.

How messed up can they be?

2 million refugee's & they are trying to solve the tourism problem.

lol@ Lebanon

never harassed anyone...its you doing that.

iceman & I go way back...you mind your own business & stick to the article...stop worrying what others do.

now buzz

Norma... I happen to have visited many of these you call 'Houthian' villages in Lebanon and found the people to be welcoming and generous. While it is fine and indeed necessary to refute negative political discourse emanating from some political actors in Lebanon, it is not acceptable to engage in dehumanization or stereotyping.

A-democrat, only an uneducated fool or a paid shill, would even entertain such thoughts, as most know there is good & bad of every sect, every nation, every colour etc.

This site has become inhumane in the cruelest manner & allowed to thrive under these conditions.

SHIA this, Sunni that...Iran this, KSA that.

only takes for a decent Mod to weed out such filth & you will no longer see degrading posts that target a sect or people.

But hey as long as the Mods allow it..just play the game man.
Iceman wants to pretend his a woman & repeat Houthi a 1000 times a day...just respond accordingly.

lol FT, you & I are always zoomed in...they honor us with replica names.

watch all the guest names that will come in our honor whenever we post.

Could you imagine anyone caring enough to copy their user name?

We must be destroying them time after time in debate..hence the following

If anyone but the conehead said this it would be serious!
